I always enjoy the "Law and Order" shows, but this one
seems to be copying FX's "American Crime Story" rather than
following the usual Dick Wolf model. Instead of the O.J.
Simpson case, this one is about the Menendez Brothers.

The acting and writing are solid. There is little
mystery left to us about the crime, since we know what
happens in the end. I guess if you're younger, you might not
have been around for the case, so it will be a surprise in
that sense. Still, it's compelling and worth watching.

The actors do a great job. I would keep watching if I
had time, but I prefer to watch mostly superhero or scifi
shows, aside for a few really outstanding shows, such as
"Longmire," "Grantchester" or "Major Crimes."
